boss bf-2 manual knobIt may not display this or other websites correctly. You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Sign Up Now! I just got a BF-2 and I'm not sure what it's for. It seems to do some tone shaping somewhat like the Resonance knob but not as dramatic. Rolling it to the left makes it more useful for the bass. Isn't that the rate knob's job? GlennThe rate knob changes how fast the delay time is varying. The manual knob changes the range of the variable delay time. How's that? Need more of a description?Try this: Rate at it's slowest Res at it's max Depth at it's max Then, with manual fully counter-clockwise, pick a note and pluck it over and over again, slowly. Listen to the sweep all the way up, all the way down, and all the way up again. Now, put the manual control fully clockwise and repeat the listening test. It's subtle, but it's definitely there. I can even hear it just from the self generated noise the thing makes with no input signal. Oh yeah, and to REALLY prove it, pop open the thing and tweak the internal RES pot up a bit, with the right twiddling you should be able to get it to self oscillate, and you'll find the manual control has a significant effect on the tone it produces. An example of BF-2 self oscillation with tweaking of the manual control affecting the pitch.Actually, I've gotta pull my finger and post the samples of the Ibanez DML-10 self osc.

The Boss BF-2 was produced by the company between 1981 and 2002, after which it was replaced by the BF-3 pedal which is still in production today. If that’s too technical, then the BF-2 is your ticket to a wonderful world of swirling, aeroplane-like sounds. Seriously, though, a flanger is a useful sonic colour to have at your disposal for those times when chorus is too tame and a phaser is too funky. As with other Boss pedals, there’s a 9V battery compartment accessible underneath the footswitch. MANUAL also acts as a fine-tuning knob, as some of the overtones produced by the pedal might not always sit nicely with the key of whatever you happen to be playing.http://yjunguk.com/userfiles/bose-ipod-connect-kit-manual.xml DEPTH affects the depth of the sweep RATE controls how fast or slow the sweep occurs RES is the level of resonance or feedback However, there are few hard and fast rules about pedalboard sequencing, so let your ears be your guide.

This was the original colour choice, but it was changed to purple in the last minute. Whether some pink ones exixts out there is uncertain. It was changed to green in 1984.

I likes little bit of it there I think that’s one of the reasons I like the Thorpy camoflange is you can crank the feedback in either direction of even or odd harmonics and blend in more dry signal so it’s not so intense.A lot of people tend to keep that swirly sweep whoosh sound down.https://www.thebiketube.com/acros-3vz-fe-manual-pdf I likes little bit of it there I think that’s one of the reasons I like the Thorpy camoflange is you can crank the feedback in either direction of even or odd harmonics and blend in more dry signal so it’s not so intense.Robert Smith, who doesn’t want to sound like him.That’s what I’m going for with my BF-2 I moved the Manual to 5 o'clock like you suggested and I now prefer that setting.

With the classic BOSS BF-2 Flanger, a flanging effect is produced by combining the original signal with an electronically delayed signal.The BF-2 features a special BBD (Bucket Brigade Device) circuit which greatly reduces the noise which is inherent in most electronic flangers. These where later changed to the white top knobs. The change took place 1990, very close to the same time that production was moved to Taiwan This was the original color choice, but it was changed to purple in the last minute. Whether some pink ones exists out there is uncertain. The TL022CP opamp was replaced with the Sharp IR9022 opamp at some point but apart from that, the circuit remained unchanged. It was changed to green in 1984. When production of the BF-2 moved to Taiwan 1990, the label kept its color but was reprinted with the new country of origin. In 1994 the label was changed to orange.

The Bass Flanger was not directly replaced when the BF-2B production stopped. After almost 10 years Boss replaced it with the BF-3.https://espbc.com/images/boss-bf-2-manual-knob.pdf The bass fundamentals remain untouched as flanging is added to the harmonics only. The LFO (Low Frequency oscillator) is variable between 100ms and 16 seconds and this gives a wide specter of flanging sounds. The MANUAL knob controls the delay time, the DEPTH knob controls the sweep range, the RATE knob sets the sweep speed and the RESONANCE knob sets the amount of feedback desired. Instead of putting the correct symbol in the schematic for the modulation ICs, they've just drawn actual ICs. We'll have to go looking for the opamps to better understand. To the best of our knowledge, most, but not all opamps have negative on pins 2 and 6, and positive on 3, and 5, but not always. As with other pedals, we'll have to put this on an oscilloscope to make sure whether it inverts phase or not.Those remaining transistors and opamps aren't touching the sound signal directly, and so do not affect the signal phase in the pedal. Subscribe to our free newsletter It is a cool looking color and is much more versatile than its predecessor, the BF-2. UTILIZATION The configuration of the BF-2 is very easy to figure out. It has four knobs and one of the knobs has another knob on top of it. The first knob controls the resonator, the next controls the depth, the third controls the rate and the last knob is used to set what mode of flanger you would like to use. It is designed to get a wide variety of flanger sounds and it does just that. I've never used the manual as the pedal is pretty easy to figure out. SOUND QUALITY The sound quality of this flanger is very realistic sounding. It is easy to use it subtly and to hint with the flanger, and easy to go nuts to get some real spacey sounds. I have only used the BF-2 with guitar - a Gibson SG and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb amp. The flange sound on this pedal is top notch and totally professional sounding. OVERALL OPINION I first used the BF-2 about three or four years ago.https://www.yoursurveysurveyors.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626d29032f853---case-586g-operators-manual.pdf I also have a BF-3, which is the Boss flanger made before this pedal and while the BF-3 is a lot more expensive it is definitely more versatile and overall has a better sound to it. While some sounds between the BF-2 and the BF-3 are comparable, the BF-3 has a more varied arsenal of sounds than the BF-2. While the BF-3 is a bit pricey you are getting a very well made pedal from a company with a great reputation. Overall this is great sounding flanger pedal with a ton of versatility. 1 people did not find this review helpful Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It was sold from 1980 to 2001, when it was replaced by the BOSS BF-3 Flanger. It should be noted that the BF-2 is analog, NOT digital. The BF-3 on the other hand, is in fact a digital Flanger. The controls are nothing out of the ordinary, and are as follows: Manual, Depth, Rate, Res (Resonance). The BF-2 is are powered by a 9 Volt battery, or either a 12 Volt ACA adapter, or a 9 Volt PSA adapter. Which version you have determines the voltage you need. Some of the older, Made In Japan BOSS pedals were powered by an un-regulated 12 Volt power supply, and the pedal had a resistor and diode inside to both drop the voltage down to 9 Volts and to smooth it out. Converting those to run off of of a standard 9 Volt adapter is very simple if desired. UTILIZATION Tweaking this Flanger to your tastes isn't hard. It's a pretty standard control set, and as with all BOSS stuff, they make things pretty obvious. I can't comment on how well the manual lays things out, because since I got it used I didn't receive a manual, but you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out. SOUND QUALITY My main genre is Thrash metal with some drop-tuned stuff thrown in. I mainly use this pedal to add some depth to cleans, and occasionally I'll use it for leads as well. It does seem to add a slight volume boost when engaged, which can be annoying, but it's not terrible.3dtechgroup.com/uploads/image/files/case-445-skid-steer-manual.pdf It can also tend to boost the low end too much sometimes, which works out fine for leads, but for cleans it just muddies things up a bit if you aren't careful. It might be fine though if you had a more treble-oriented amp, or if you are like me and have a 4x12 cab that can handle the extra bass without getting muddy. You can also do the standard airplane-taking-off Flanger sounds with this thing, so if that's something you are looking for this can do it. It's also possible to get some pretty chorus-like sounds out of it as well, which is pretty cool. In general, it's a good sounding pedal. Is it the best Flanger out there. Most likely not. But it's not bad either, and if you can get it cheap it's a good pedal to check out. OVERALL OPINION Overall, this is a pretty decent little Flanger. I like that I can do more than just crazy sounds, but I dislike that it has a slight volume boost. Having used it for several months now I would DEFINITELY buy it again, even if I had to pay twice the price for it. It's one of the staples of my pedalboard, and I just don't see it going away anytime soon. Get it if you are looking for a Flanger that can do anything from chorus-like sounds to airplanes taking off. Don't get it if you don't want to have to deal with a slight volume and bass boost. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It can also run from a 9 volt battery but mine killed batteries a little too quick. UTILIZATION This pedal is as easy as it gets for flange. Everything is layed out in typical boss fashion where what you see is what you get. The user manual does a good enough job explaining what they do and how it effects the other parameters. SOUND QUALITY As with other boss stomp boxes this pedal has the ever active buffer. The pros and cons of the buffer have been discussed for years but I will say I found it to be useful when running a long chain of effects. I did not notice a great deal of tonal degradation with this pedal.http://www.caribbeandentist.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626d29140a455---case-586g-service-manual.pdf The flange itself is very metallic sounding and pretty easy to identify. Pop in a record from the cure or machine head and you can hear the sound of this pedal. It works good for some sounds but was always a bit too over bearing for much use. It can be dialed down to some extent with the resonance knob but the high end flanging is always there. Because of this I used it mainly for the over the top sounds. Cranking the speed and depth gets a sea sick sound that works great for interlude stuff and noise music. There are also some internal trim pots that can turn this pedal into a siren making noise machine. There is no mention of these in the manual because I don't believe boss intended on users altering their factory settings. If you are in love with this pedal you probably shouldn't screw with these as they are very tiny and small adjustments can make a world of difference. For me it actually made the pedal more useful as I had been using it for noise purposes anyway. OVERALL OPINION There are much better flangers out there, even in the boss price range. I think overall boss just is not that good at the modulation effects. I have managed to acquire two of these for free and gotten some use out of them but I doubt I would ever actually buy one. The sound is just too thin and pingy where modulation should be able to add warmth. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It is a fantastic sounding flanger and the lush chorusy flanger effects sound amazing. However there is another hidden gem to this pedal. It doubles as a preamp booster. It is amazing how the limited number of amps and effects were back in the 80's to guys and still were able to pull off some of the best created rock tones to this day. Well it seems a lot of them would get really creative with the stuff that they had rather than gassing for something they didn't have. Ronnie Le Treko used this pedal as a boost in front of a simple Marshall amp.http://www.thelawchamber.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1626d291f9ddb2---case-588g-forklift-operators-manual.pdf You get a very lush tone that really widens the signal to explore warm flanger tones. Te flanger itself is a great feature but as a get more into guitar playing instead of effects using I find myself leaning towards using it as a preamp. If I run this pedal in front of a stock Marshall JCM800 or a Splawn QR I can get a very cool and usable Le Treko tone or just a boosted midrange distortion tone. It is cool for getting that 80's grind that was distinctly 80's hair metal. OVERALL OPINION These pedals have now been discontinued and have been updated with the Boss Bf-3. Pretty much the same pedal with a few minor and not that noticeable features. They are pretty inexpensive and not a big investment to find a cool effects pedal or booster pedal. The BF-2 was sold from June 1980 to December 2001. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It contains a manual, depth, rate and resonance knob to help sculpt whatever tone you're looking for. Most people who check out this pedal are probably going to instantly switch it to the most extreme jet flanging sound they can think of, ala EVH, but there's a secret to this pedal that most people don't know of. I'll explain it later down below. UTILIZATION Boss pedals are renounced for their sturdy enclosures. This pedal is no different. The reliability on these pedals is bar none, and it'll take whatever abuse you can throw at it. Boss manuals are clearly written, and with the example settings, you should be able to be up and running within a few minutes. The four knobs allows you to shape the tone quite nicely, and the bypass isn't too bad, either. It's a buffered FET bypass, but it does the job. SOUND QUALITY Most people who get this are most likely going to be looking for an alternative to the MXR pedal. In fact, this sounds pretty close to the famous MXR pedal that Eddie used. It has a nice jet flanging sound, and it can do a subtle flange fairly nice too.12shio.com/contents//files/case-445-owners-manual.pdf If you set all the knobs to zero but max out the manual knob, you get this awesome midrange boost thing going on. OVERALL OPINION If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the MXR, I highly recommend trying this pedal out. The cool thing about it is that it only needs a 9v adapter to run, so you don't have to deal with special wall warts or some huge cable coming out of the pedal. Boss did a great job with this, and it's a bit of a shame it's no longer sold today. Check eBay for some good deals or search forums, and you're guaranteed to find one at a bargain price. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. It then has a battery compartment as well as a nine volt power supply jack for powering this up. It isn't going to be rack mountable since it's a stomp box. UTILIZATION Players with all levels of experience should be able to operate the Boss BF-2 Flanger without a problem. It's got four parameters in the form of knobs for resonance, depth, rate, and manual. Each will affect your sound pretty significantly, but a manual isn't really necessary. SOUND QUALITY The sound quality of the Boss BF-2 Flanger is just about as good as any flanger pedal I've used. It's not as versatile as the Boss BF-3 or some others that I've used, but it has more than just your basic flanging sounds and definitely leaves room for a good amount of possibilities. I've used it mostly with my Fender Jazzmaster and '76 Fender Twin Reverb, but have used it with other gear and it sounds just as good. It's not going to give you an endless variety of flanging sounds, but for basic purposes it does the job for me as I don't tend to use flanging all that often. OVERALL OPINION While they're no longer making the Boss BF-2 Flanger, it's still one of the cheapest ways to get a high quality flanger pedal. If you use flanging all the time, it's probably best to spend a little bit more money on something like the Boss BF-3 to give you a bit more flexibility, but for those who just want something to get started with or who might not use flanging all the time, the BF-2 Flanger is perfect. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. UTILIZATION I had no problems getting this pedal working in my set up - simply plug your guitar into the input and send the output to your amp. I have not used the manual, I just use my ear and experiment with the four knobs. SOUND QUALITY The effects that can be gotten with this are wide and very useful. I use it a lot when I just looking for that extra fullness for a lead tone or if I am looking for that clean flange sound. I use it with electric guitar and keyboards. OVERALL OPINION I've had this pedal for about 2 years. While the Boss BF-3 has many more options in terms of what can be manipulated, I like the BF-2 because it is very simple to use and give me a simple flanging sound when I need it. I haven't tried out any other flanger pedals except for the Boss BF-3, which was a bit out of my price range. For the price, you can get a wide array of flange type sounds mixed with great craftsmanship that Boss offers. Did you find this review helpful? yes no. Transformer or power supply by 9v battery eternal. UTILIZATION No need for manual, trafficote buttons, flanger radical or slow and deep, everyone finds his cam. Robust housing that needs no introduction. SOUND QUALITY At a time when the analog to the coast, this is THE one that will pedal unknown brand costing an arm And yet, this BOSS brand by which all begins often in the world of effects, is a safe bet. Zikos used by many, the sound is recognizable. Discrete arpeggio or a saturation radical, it is a pleasure to play with. Flange of the swirling jet, or hovering effect (coupled to a delay, excellent), we do not get tired. OVERALL OPINION 6 years that I use (time flies), not always in my pedalboard but always near, I was immediately captivated and I always find a thousand ways to exploit, coupled with other effect. In addition we find cheap secondhand easily. Honestly if you are looking for a flanger, go for this one you will not regret it. 9 of 9 people found this review helpful Did you find this review helpful? yes no. No need for manual (it can go on RTT) SOUND QUALITY - Flanger very effective sweeping chorus, vibrato (or type) and flanger. - I use insert on one slice of the console, or on synth, keyboards or other. - The sound is awesome. UTILIZATION Acquired without bote or manual, I pretty tatnner to find the sound that matches my set, which (paradoxically?), I think, is a guarantee of effectiveness of the effect. The rglages perfectly interdpendants, each fulfilling its rle knobs along its course. Everyone can carve his own way effect: subtle or EXAGRES. But whatever the configuration, if the force on the knob Res, it's boiled. SOUND QUALITY For its use: On a light amplifier, the effect is warm trs on clean sounds. The distorted sounds are not drafts, j'apprcie particulirement the effect on the harmonics and slides Korn kinds of L7 (see Andres). A transistor amplifier, has its sounds really cheap and it is clear carrment inaudible saturated OVERALL OPINION I've had a month in a flea market. I have gained by pure curiosities but I love that sound. At 15, the report qualitprix silent beat. I do it again so that choice. 1 people did not find this review helpful Did you find this review helpful? yes no By using our services, you agree to our use of cookies. Find out more.
